The Weekend
Yeah, it's Thursday. And I'm just getting around to blogging about the weekend. It was a good one. Not for any one thing in particular. Just no stress, no bullshit, no unnecessary money spent (okay maybe a little).
Friday night, I went with sorors to Mojito's restaurant. Damn the food, I just wanted my mojito. It was nice to just chill and act a fool with friends. No watching the clock because I have to be somewhere or watching my wallet because I think I can't afford it. Just acting a damn fool and not really giving a shit!
Saturday, I went with Toya to a soror's baby shower. This is not a soror I'm particularly cool with. I met her once at a stepshow. I had nothing to do so I said, what the hell. So I woke up around 11 and went to Target to purchase some pampers as part of the gift we were giving. Sign #1 I am not ready to have kids of my own: I spent damn near 30 minutes in the pamper aisle trying to figure out which was the best set of pampers to give as a gift. I usually just buy cute baby clothes cuz I like to diva-fy a baby nice and early! But after talking to Em, she told me she wished more people had bought diapers since she needed those more than anything else. So, I tried to buy a more practical gift. Damn the diaper aisle to hell! Different sizes, different brands, plus my frugal self was trying to get the best deal possible. (It's now Friday!!!) I eventually settled for Pampers brand size 1 count 116. I think I did good. The shower was fabulous. It was a rare thing that they didn't play a lot of games but there was still fun to be had by all. There was a 50/50 raffle and half the money went into a piggy bank for the baby. It sounds ghetto but it was actually a fabulous idea. They also did a pull names out of the bag kind of game. And then after all the gifts were opened, the mother-to-be unsealed an envelope and revealed the sex of the baby. I think we were more excited than she was because the third game involved guessing the sex, weight and birthdate of the baby. She said it's a girl, I guessed a girl, so I'm still in the running!!!
On Sunday, I woke up with a strange motivation to finally put together my computer station. I bought it at Ikea while I was on vacation way back in November. I think the prospect of putting it together scared me a little. But let me tell you, damnit, I'm a trooper. Some bruised hands but otherwise, I put together the banging computer desk. I'm very proud of myself (like you couldn't tell!!) It actually made my house feel a little more homey! Next up, paint!! Oh yeah, and a little thing called a couch! Then I went to Cam's for her Super Bowl party. A room full of women and I'm the only football fan. Made for an interesting evening. It was a good game and I won 10 bucks, which I need to collect pronto! After the game, we all got caught up in Grey's Anatomy. That's a damn good show. The episode that aired Sunday night should be considered an Emmy-worthy episode. At the very least, I fully expect to see Shonda Rhimes with an Emmy nomination when those awards roll around.
Yeah, it was a good weekend. I wish they all felt like this.
